As a mom in your 30s, your face may begin to show just how much life you’ve been living. It may reflect the late nights, endless multitasking, sun exposure, and the normal aging process. All these factors take their toll on your skin. 

Such changes could be a little bit earlier or more obvious if you live around Newport Beach, where life is quite pulsating and the sun shines all year round. You may be staring at yourself in the mirror and observing small details like softer jawlines, deeper wrinkles around your mouth, or damaged skin that no longer bounces back. 

These are normal changes, and they do not mean you have to rush to anything drastic. But if, on the other end of the spectrum, you are seeking out little things that can help you feel a bit more like you, there are natural, non-invasive habits. Continue reading to find out more.

Hydration 

It sounds basic, but it is foundational. Water is good for your skin’s elasticity, and dehydration can exacerbate fine lines. A decent water bottle that accompanies school runs and bedtime routines is more useful than you might think.

Skincare consistency

You don’t need a 10-step routine. A mild cleanser, a moisturizer that really works for you, and sunscreen on an everyday basis make miracles. Some moms claim that using facial oils or overnight masks a few times a week can bring additional softness.

Sleep (or at least rest)

It’s easier said than done, but even a little amount of quality sleep increases skin repair and overall brightness. If long night times aren’t possible, then adjust the screen time and give your body a rest during other brief windows throughout the day.

Stress reduction

Stress, even a low-level one, affects the skin. Walking, journaling, breathing exercises, or any other activity that helps you decompress has an outward impact on how your face handles tension and dullness.

When You’re Ready to Go Beyond Basics…

If natural methods aren’t giving you the refresh you’re looking for, there are non-invasive cosmetic treatments that can subtly enhance your appearance without surgery or extended downtime.

A facelift

For those who want long-lasting results without going under the knife, consider a non-invasive facelift in Newport Beach with Dr. Richard Lee. During the procedure, your aesthetician will insert small amounts of dermal filler into key places of your face using disease-free needles. Your jawline, cheekbones, under your eyes, around your mouth, and nose are some of the target areas on your face. It is subtly lifting sagging areas, recontouring the jawline, and diminishing deep folds (that can’t ever be helped by skincare). 

The non-surgical facelift results can last for 18 months. Surprisingly, the procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Microneedling 

This is a gentle treatment that restores your look by triggering the natural capability of the skin to repair itself. It uses microscopic, controlled needles to form micro-injuries that trigger additional production of collagen and elastin. These are the main ingredients responsible for a smooth, firm, youthful-looking skin. 

Many people like this treatment mainly because it enables:

  • Smoothening of the texture
  • Softening of fine lines
  • Fading of acne scars 
  • Giving the skin the ultimate glow. 

The treatment has minimal downtime, and it suits most skin types. This makes it a favorite among those seeking effective results without abrasive processes. 

Emsculpt

This procedure may seem a little too good to be true. However, it actually does work. It is a non-invasive technique that tones and firms your body by stimulating thousands of muscle contractions. It achieves this by using high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy in a short period. 

Think of it as an intense exercise, but only in a lying position. Many people perceive Emsculpt as a game-changer because it helps shape the abs, thighs, or arms. This gives the much-needed extra boost of confidence. It’s great if you are already leading a healthy lifestyle but want some help in updating your appearance without using surgery or downtime.

Wrapping up

Aging is a normal process, and so is the uncertainty about the changes in your appearance. There is no set thing that you should do. However, simple routines and appropriate self-care shifts can be sufficient for many moms. If you were to make changes that are deeper than just surface-level, perhaps non-invasive therapies like a facelift are something worth exploring.
